Maine Places

“Maine camp” has many different meanings. To some, it’s simply a retreat in a beautiful setting. Others reference a rudimentary structure with minimal modern conveniences. For the purposes of this roundup of camps currently on the market here, I have stuck to smallish, rustic buildings with electricity, running water, ocean or lake access, and plenty of character — because, well, that’s my idea of the perfect Maine hideaway. Leave a note and let me know what you think of these, and if there are other types of properties you’d like to see in future real estate roundups. Oh, and if you happen to snap up the Hosmer Pond property, pictured above and directly below, please be gentle when relaying the news. I have fallen hard for that place and will die a little inside when it sells.
